A robust demand planning process is critical to effective resource and offers allocation at different detail levels to ensure operations are fulfilling the company's business plan.
To achieve this, a joint team of Grupo Fleury and FICO experts further improved on the existing Fleury Forecaster to manage continuous growth in demand and to improve the level of automation, detail, reporting and user-friendliness of the platform.
"With over 3,500 tests being performed across 300 sites, FICO had already helped us design a robust platform which could handle the complex dynamics of demand management," said
Another important aspect of the solution is the ability to analyze the performance of past forecasts to help improve future forecasts. Users can view this in intuitive dashboards that help them understand forecast accuracy and how each stage of the forecasts construction process adds value to the result.
A further enhancement was estimating potential demand – essentially the sales possible, if it weren't for offer restrictions – which was important in finding opportunities for increasing revenue. The solution created an automated, more accurate sales forecast which made the entire demand planning process faster and more reliable. As a result, the company is more confident about the forecast which forms the basis of the revenue budget.
"Grupo Fleury has built a business intelligence engine that significantly enable gains in profitability," said
"FICO is really proud to be working with Grupo Fleury," said
"Grupo Fleury had continued to build on its analytic platform to achieve exceptional results," said
